We say goodbye to Sam Dismore after 23 years

For the second week in a row, we say goodbye to a valued member of staff as Sam Dismore leaves Optichrome.

Sam joined us 23 years ago when we acquired Southwell Press, along with Brian Jeffery who retired last week. Her first position at Optichrome was as a DTP (Mac) Operator and she has thrived in our design studio ever since.

Interestingly, Sam originally applied for a job at Optichrome when she was 17 years old but for some reason John Heywood did not give her the job. A decision he has never been allowed to forget!

We wish Sam every success in her new role helping her husband with their family business, Raindance, a garden irrigation company.
